Blair is One!

Well, it's official, Blair turned one year old yesterday. Big sister Alyssa is already back in school and daddy is working long hours in another city this week. So that left me, Emily and Blair on our own to do something fun. The first stop of our morning was a little for the girls and a lot for mom. We hit up the Starbucks closest to our house and had breakfast on the patio. I ordered the girls a blueberry muffin and a chocolate chip scone and they split both. After the first few bites, Blair started throwing her food on the ground and Emily became more interested in my bagel and "ice cream".

As fun and "relaxing" as breakfast was, we decided to take our drinks to go and head to the park. There is a newish one not far from our house that has a mini splash pad and springy cork board floors. I though it would be perfect for Blair to crawl around and play. The first thing we did at the park was take a few one year old pictures. That was interesting for about 45 seconds. We attempted to play in the water, except the water wouldn't come on. Bummer. We played on the swings and slides for a while but then the sun came out and it got really hot really quickly. Between the heat and the park ranger who had been sitting parked behind my car for an uncomfortable amount of time, I thought it would be best to head home for an early nap.

We spent the rest of the day playing and eating junk food and waiting for daddy to come home and spend a few minutes with us before bed time. Blair's party is this Saturday and we can't wait to really celebrate our sweet girl.
